Guest guest Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 WHAT IF EVERYTHING YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW ABOUT AIDS WAS WRONG? By Christine Maggiore On April 23, 1984 Dr. Robert Gallo of the National Institutes of Health announced that he had discovered "the probable cause of AIDS", a new retrovirus later named HIV. (1) Gallo's statement was made at an international press conference, circumventing essential rules of the scientific process: No research study providing evidence for his claim about HIV had been published for review in any scientific or medical journal. By the following day, the New York Times had turned Gallo's unsubstantiated statement into a certainty with front page reports on "the AIDS virus", bringing all funding and research for non-viral causes of AIDS to an abrupt halt. (2) When the evidence Gallo offered for his statement was published several weeks later, this paper revealed that he was unable to find the HIV virus in more than half of the AIDS patients he had studied. (3) While he was able to detect antibodies in most, antibodies do not cause or predict disease and are an indication of immunity. A congressional investigation later determined that Gallo had not discovered HIV. The virus he claimed to have found had actually been taken from a sample sent to him by a French virologist, Luc Montagnier. (4) At the 1993 International AIDS Conference, Dr. Montagnier stated that "HIV may be benign." (5) The high correlation that appears to exist between HIV and AIDS is not proof of causation, but rather an artifact of the AIDS definition. AIDS is defined as any one of 29 old diseases (such as pneumonia, yeast infection, TB, cancer, diarrhea, and salmonella) that occur in a person who has also registered positive on an HIV antibody test. These diseases are called AIDS only when they occur in people who test HIV antibody positive. All these diseases can be found in people who test HIV negative. There are no diseases exclusive to AIDS, and AIDS itself is not a disease. (6) The Formula for AIDS: Pneumonia + HIV Antibodies = AIDS Pneumonia + HIV Antibodies = Pneumonia Diarrhea + HIV Antibodies = AIDS Diarrhea + HIV Antibodies = Diarrhea Like most of our present AIDS experts, Gallo came from a group of government cancer virologists who had spent almost two decades and over $20 billion seeking proof for the theory that cancer is caused by a contagious, sexually transmitted virus. Since retroviruses do not kill cells and cancer is a condition marked by rapid cell growth, this type of virus seemed a likely candidate for a cancer virus. But 20 years of research devoted to retroviruses failed to produce proof for the concept of contagious, sexually transmitted cancer. (7) Since 1984, most of these cancer experts and all $48 billion of AIDS research has focused exclusively on the hypothesis that the retrovirus HIV causes AIDS. Although Gallo claimed that HIV caused AIDS by destroying the T Cells of the immune system, 20 years of cancer research proved that retroviruses do not destroy cells. There is still no evidence in the scientific literature demonstrating that HIV destroys T Cells. Despite the fact that more money has been spent on HIV that the combined total for all other viruses in history, there is no proof for the hypothesis that HIV is the cause of AIDS. (8) Although a hypothesis is "an unproved assumption tentatively accepted to provide a basis for further investigation and debate", no critical discussion of the HIV hypothesis has been allowed in scientific and medical forums. A good hypothesis is defined by its ability to solve problems and mysteries, make accurate predictions and produce results. The HIV/AIDS hypothesis, after more than 15 years, fails to meet these criteria. As noted by Dr. Kary Mullis, 1993 Noble Laureate for inventing the PCR technique used in HIV testing "It's not even probable, let alone scientifically proven that HIV causes AIDS. If there is evidence that HIV causes AIDS, there should be scientific documents which either singly or collectively demonstrate that fact, at least with a high probability. There are no such documents." (9) In fact, there are no cases of AIDS in the medical literature in which HIV has proved to be the only health risk factor. (10) As there is no naturally occurring antibody that is specific to any one disease, the HIV antibody test is non-specific. (Human beings produce polyclonal antibodies that do not have "monogamous relationships" with the microbes that elicit them). (11) In fact, there are more than 60 conditions, many found in the blood of normal, healthy people that have been documented to cross-react on HIV tests and cause false positive results. These conditions include antibodies produced in response to a cold, the flu, flu vaccinations, hepatitis, herpes, immunizations, rheumatoid arthritis, pregnancy and prior pregnancy. (12) The HIV test is also non-standardized, which means there is no single accepted definition for what constitutes a positive result. For example, a person testing HIV positive by Canadian standards could be considered HIV negative in France or Africa. Standards may even vary between laboratories in the same city. (13) Accuracy for the HIV test has never been established by virus isolation, the only means by which such a test can be "calibrated". Claims of accuracy are based on reproducibility. (getting the same result from the same sample). (14) Newer "viral load" tests do not isolate or measure actual virus.
